Wonderful Home
This is a beautiful, private property with a million dollar view! It was very clean! Everything you need is in the house (dishes, cookware, laundry, iron, hair dryer, detergents, garbage bags, towels, etc.). We loved the outdoor patio and pool! The wildlife is great. Tucan birds came by in the early morning and evening at sunset. There were other small mammals that visited the yard during our stay as well. We were close to lots of waterfalls, the mangrove monkey boat tour was great, the Costa Rican spheres were very cool, great dining options in Dominical and at Scala and Jolly Roger (closest to the house). Awesome views of the Whale's Tail from the home. We didn't want to leave! ❤️

Heaven on earth
We stayed at this property for 5 weeks! My heart ached a little when it was time to go home. The comments about needing a 4 wheel drive are accurate. Oscar, the best concierge in the world, helped me with renting a vehicle since I could not find whether the rental vehicles were 4 wheel drive on the websites. From the time I secured this house rental one year earlier, Oscar was always helpful, friendly and immediately responsive whenever I communicated with him. It was wonderful being greated every morning by yellow throated toucans and pendulum birds...more often than not a coatimunda strolling through the yard. Grunts from howler monkeys could be heard every morning and evening, though we never saw on the mountain. We did however, see capuchin monkeys 3 times...and lots of tropical birds and butterflys 🦋. Mostly I was charmed by Lizzie, a Jesus lizard (common basilisk). She likes hanging by the edge of the infinity pool and having the water wash over her feet. She is not real shy and I could be in the pool a foot away and she would just look a me curiously when I talked to her. The house....just lovely! There weren't any spices or condiments left by previous renters so if you're going to stay a while, you might want to bring you're favorite spices in a ziplock. Spices are pretty inexpensive though. Also, I would recommend bringing a few extra face cloths...one face cloth, bath towel and hand towel for each of 4 people, plus a pool towel. ❤

Beautiful!
The house was everything shown in the pictures. Takes about 20 minutes of 4x4 1st & 2nd gear driving to reach the house from the main road, but that's definitely part of the adventure that gets you the spectacular views from the house. Scala and Bar Jolly Roger are great food options closest to the house. Can't say enough good things about the house and its private lot. We enjoyed seeing toucans morning and evening each day. The cody was cool to see as well, but it will definitely go after the trashcan after you put the first bag in it - so keep the bungies tight. We hope to return to this house in the future!

As noted by many, the drive up to the property is an adventure. But it's definitely worth it. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The views are amazing.

This property is absolutely perfect. I usually try to add some constructive criticism but with this home I am 100% happy. We were just two and the place was perfectly sized, even with two more it would work well. We spent most of time time outside gazing at the magnificent view and I suspect you would too. The house is stocked with essentials and very, very comfortable. A highlight was being greeted within minutes of our arrival by a flock of Toucans that visited regularly each morning. You need a 4x4. Fact! Enjoy

Spectacular secluded getaway
Don't let the drive from the highway discourage you, it's so worth it! The roads are very well maintained, just really steep so 4wd is a must. Besides, once you get there, you never want to leave. We were so happy with the time spent there, it was very private, and the views were absolutely captivating. One of my many favorite features was the unique shower which opened up into a lush garden area that was like the garden of eden. Oscar our concierge was so helpful. Truly an unforgettable experience and I cant wait to come back.

Breathtaking Views
My family stayed here for 7 nights. A fantastic home tucked into the jungle. The views are really amazing. We spent a lot of time in the pool gazing out at the vista. We highly recommend a stay here. The only thing that we thought could be improved upon was the router for the internet was old and therefore the connection wasn’t as good as it could have been. A back up generator could also help during the blackouts. Aside from this it was spectacular.

Amazing View
Absolutely impressed with this property. The view and the home itself, was so nice and well kept that I never wanted to leave. Could have sat by the pool all day with a view like this. Our concierge Oscar was without a doubt the best resource on this trip, he was always available for help or questions. He even went on our white water rafting trip with us!! 5 stars for Oscar! Oscar also escorted us up the mountain on arrival to make sure we found our way perfectly. Our first trip up the mountain was a little intense but got better each trip up and down. If this home is on your list just go ahead and choose this one. I would hands down come back to this place over and over again. Pura Vida :)

Beautiful Rain Forest Vacation Home
If you’re looking for amazing views, this house is for you! High up in the hills outside of Dominical and Uvita, it’s a great house with a great property manager. He was in constant contact with us as needed for different things such as booking adventures and power outages. Things you need to know for this house: the 4x4 car is not an option. It’s a fun and amazing drive getting up to the house on (mostly) unpaved roads for 4 miles. If you’re not the adventurous type, this house might not be for you. The drive is worth it though as the views you see in the picture are 100% what you get. We saw Toucans every morning, usually 3-4. We had a friendly Coati come by our house as well (pretty much a Costa Rican raccoon). There were 3 frogs/toads that came by every night to join us next to the pool. This is Costa Rica, so just know your power might go out and flicker every so often, but just make the best of it and enjoy the amazing views and environment. I’ve already told my friends and hope they get to experience this house if they make the trip down!

There’s not a better view of the “Whale’s Tail” than this!
Initial feelings were a bit mixed while following Oscar, the property manager, up the road. I had read all the reviews but you really have to experience it to understand. Let me tell you that when we pulled into the driveway, all of our worried dissolved! I have not seen a view like that and it’s worth every minute of the 20 min drive up. Oscar told us that the first time was the worst and the second is better- it was very true! After that first drive, every other one was a breeze! He assured us it was safe even in rain and it was. Now about the property!! Absolutely breathtaking! I can’t imagine there is a better view in the area than the one we had. The infinity pool was refreshing and beautiful. Every morning we watched the toucans playing in the trees. The landscaping was meticulous and beautifully done. Inside the house we had everything we needed! The dishwasher was a bonus! The house was clean and tidy and had games and movies for the kids. A/C in the bedrooms also spilled over to the main space so it was always nice and cool inside. What a beautiful/comfortable space! We do hope to return one day! Thank you, Oscar for your help! He went above and beyond booking a whale watching trip and also helping us make a dinner reservation at Gusto’s (highly recommend). Pura Vida!

A wonderful house, spectacular view!
We spent 5 days at Olas Azul with a family of 4. The house can not be better: fully equipped with everyhting you can ask for, super-well climatized and with all the privacy you can ask for. The view across the forest and the ocean is breathtaking. We even spent a few days in the house and pool only without driving down. Be aware that you need a 4-wheel drive and a bit of patience and getting here from the main road - but you will be rewarded ten times over.

CASA TOUCAN
The property was clean and well maintained and had an incredible view. It should be called Casa Toucan as we had daily visitors of as many as 12 Toucans simultaneously in the trees around the pool... the only downside was the long drive (18 minutes or so from the Coast Highway) up a mostly dirt and gravel road. But the view, the Toucans, the pool and the overall condition of the property made it worth the drive. We give it 5 stars!

Excellent family vacation
Wonderful home to spend a week in. Great views every morning and waking up to the sound of howler monkeys. So many birds and coatis around. The house sits high up on a mountaintop, about 30 mins from uvita or dominical, but there are 2 great places for food only 12 minutes away, scala and sibu. We are at both multiple times and the food is excellent, highly recommend. The house was equip with everything we needed and communication with the property manager was excellent. Would certainly stay here again!

A Serene Retreat Amidst Costa Rica's Breathtaking Wilderness
I recently had the privilege of staying at this magnificent house nestled amidst the lush greenery of Costa Rica's mesmerizing mountains. Just a 25-minute drive up the mountainside, this secluded oasis offered an unparalleled escape from the bustle of everyday life. From the moment I arrived, I was enchanted by the symphony of nature that surrounded me. Perched on a hill, the house boasted breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The first thing that caught my eye was the sparkling pool, glistening under the tropical sun. It provided the perfect spot to cool off after a long day of exploration or simply to laze around, soaking up the stunning vistas. One of the highlights of my stay was the vibrant wildlife that visited the property. As I sat on the terrace, I was treated to an orchestra of sounds from the feathered residents of the jungle. Toucans gracefully glided from tree to tree, their colorful beaks a sight to behold. Howler monkeys, with their distinctive calls, could be heard in the distance, adding to the enchantment of the place. I even had the pleasure of encountering jungle chickens, their vibrant plumage adding a touch of whimsy to the surroundings. The house itself was a haven of comfort and elegance. The open design allowed for a seamless integration with nature, as if the boundaries between indoors and outdoors had merged.

Great view and great birding
The property was just as listed and perfect for us. You definitely need four wheel drive to go up and down the mountain. The house had everything we needed and had nice breezes at night. We saw so many different kinds of birds that we couldn’t keep track. The toucans came by daily and the tanagers were various and plenty. Ur only minor issue was that the previous tenant’s garbage was still in the bin outside and a coati got into it at night stinking up the bathroom that had an open window. We would recommend the property and would return again.

This property was beautiful. The pool was lovely and the view incredible. I would strongly advise against driving here in the dark and rain. That was how we came in the first day and it was a little stressful. A 4x4 vehicle is the only way to go. The roads are dirt/gravel and very steep in some spots, but entirely manageable with 4 wheel drive. Oscar was wonderful to work with. He set up our rental car with no issues. This home is within a 30 minute drive to Playa Dominicalito to get to the beach and Super Dominical (market) OR in the other direction Uvita Beach and other markets/restaurants. We did whale watching through Bahai Adventuras in Uvita and ate at Las Esteras down by the Bellena National Park entrance. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Incredible Start to Honeymoon
We had an amazing time here! The house is amazing and the view truly can’t be overstated. Oscar was amazing to have helping us at each step and the area is beautiful. Some cautions: the road is as steep and windy as they say, 4x4 drive definitely necessary. It takes about 25 min to get up and down each trip. Also, because of the remote location, we had our power and internet go out a few times — always resolved relatively quick, but if you are staying here, you may want a back up way of communication other than the Wi-Fi (which we luckily had.) We loved our stay and would 1000% come back again. We stayed 3 places in CR and this was our favorite.

The Ultimate in Seclusion and Privacy
This is a wonderful property inside and out, with ocean and jungle views to die for. My wife and I spent most of 11days here on the patio and pool deck watching the famous Whale’s Tail formation appear and disappear with the tides. Great relaxation period after the trials of the pandemic. The wild life are prevalent. We often saw coati and also an agouti walking by the pool. We were visited nightly by 3 huge brown frogs who wanted to share the patio with us. The birds are spectacular. Costa Verde Estates was much more spread out than we had imagined, with very upscale properties on large lots well separated. You were not conscious of any neighbours. The ride up and down needs to be viewed as a Costa Rica adventure. Overall and excellent experience and good value. Highly recommend for couples and families. Art C. - Aurora Ontario Canada

A slice of Paradise
Our family spent 4 nights in the villa and had a relaxing time. We actually found ourselves content in just staying at the villa watching the birds and listening to all the sounds of the wildlife around us instead of running all over the place to see things. The villa was properly equipped with everything one would need to prepare meals and to cook as well as a washer, dryer and dishwasher.. The infinity pool was refreshing on the hot days sand the view of the whales tail from the villa was spectacular. Getting to the villa, you will definitely a 4x4 as the villa is up in the mountains and the roads are mostly unpaved and steep. Driving at night can also a challenge but it is all worth it if you feel comfortable with driving in Costa Rica. Upon arrival in Dominical, our GPS (Waze) did not get us to the villa but got us close enough to the villa for Oscar to meet us and follow him to the villa. Oscar was a life saver after a long drive from the Liberia area and during our stay, Oscar was available whenever we needed him to give us tips or advice of things to do. The villa is really private but I did wish we knew about the grounds keepers coming and working while we were there. It took them a couple hours to work on the property and it was not a huge deal so we just changed our plans and went into town instead of hanging out. When all said and done, We give the property and Oscar 5 stars for making sure our stay in the villa was enjoyable. We will be back again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property manager communicated well and made sure we enjoyed our stay. The area is secluded and had a very private feel.

Beautiful private home with incredible view
We had an amazing stay at Villa Casa Azul. The home is lovely and the view cannot be beat. The pool is fantastic and we used it several times daily. The home is in a quiet, private location, so if you are looking to get away, look no further. That being said, the view and privacy comes at a price. The journey up “the hill” is quite a trek. A 4x4 (as the listing states) is a must. My husband had no problem driving it (while I had a panic attack), but it’s a slow and bumpy journey. We did end up leaving the property almost daily to head to Uvita, but the drive may be intimidating for some. There are two restaurants halfway up which we visited (Jolly Roger for bar food, Scala for nicer fare) which were both quite good, so no need to venture all the way down to the bottom for food. The trip down takes 20 or so minutes and Uvita is a short distance away with everything you could need (ATM, Supermarket, beach, restaurants and shops). It’s a charming town. We took day trips to Uvita falls, took a tour to Corcovado and Nauyaca falls are not to be missed. Oscar our concierge was wonderful throughout and communicated with us leading up to our stay as well as throughout. We had a mix up with directions from the airport (MAKE SURE GOOGLE MAPS SENDS YOU VIA 34), and we arrived much later than expected. Oscar was so gracious as to wait over an hour for our arrival and then be so welcoming to us after what was a stressful trip. The property and neighborhood (which is great for daily hikes) are filled with wildlife. We saw so many different birds (toucans, 5 types of hummingbirds, parrots, woodpeckers and more, agouti and coatis. Bring your binoculars! If I were being picky, the house could likely use a refresh (paint, some new pots/pans), but altogether it was a lovely stay and I would highly recommend it.

Unbelievable view and tranquility
This property is spectacular. The view is better than what the pictures can show. The pool made the stay! Oscar, the property manager was very professional and very helpful. Although it took about 20 minutes to drive up to the property from the main road, it was worth it for the view. They require a 4-wheel drive to come up to the property, however the road is easy to drive and well maintained. Even in a Costa Rica heavy rain storm the road remained completely drivable and was not muddy or slick. If you are looking for a great house with incredible views that is still close enough to enjoy all the activities and yet give you secluded tranquility in the evenings, this is the place for you!!

Amazing Views
We stayed here for one week with our 8 yr old daughter. It’s a good sized house for a family of 2-4. We were sad to leave because the views were just amazing. We enjoyed the ocean view, the pool, and the mountain breezes. We also loved the wildlife we saw both on the property and walking around the development. A sloth visited us a few times in a tree on the property, which was a highlight of our stay. We also saw many toucans, other birds, butterflies, bugs, and the poison dart frog, which was pretty cool to see in the wild. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was especially well stocked for cooking and grilling. I will say that I was not prepared for the drive up to the house. The reviews do talk about it, but I want to be clear that it’s an intimidating drive up a steep rocky road with switchbacks. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable driving, but my husband did all the driving, so just be aware of that for your own level of comfort. I initially didn’t think we’d leave because I didn’t want to drive that road again, but alas, we did get out everyday and the drive got easier. It’s worth it for the view, but if you are a nervous driver or plan to go in and out a lot, this may not be the best choice for you. Again, we had a wonderful stay there. It turned out to be a great spot for my family and we’d definitely recommend it to others. Hope you enjoy your next trip to Uvita/Dominical!

The property is what we expected. Just a comment the oven range was greasy. The refrigerator had a smell. The top of the mattress was just foam, hot and uncomfortable.

The place was amazing! Isolated, private with a spectacular view. A little challenging at times on the road to the property, but well worth it. I would definitely recommend 4 x 4 with a good amount of power. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Was particularly nice to have a private place in the middle of Covid. We did lots of lounging by the pool, just the two of us. Heaven!!

Million Dollar View in a Beautiful Setting
Awesome! Excellent for a couple , with 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, comfortable kitchen, outstanding infinity pool , nice outdoor sitting area and a one million dollar view. Excellent to enjoy the day relaxing in the pool and sunbathing. The house is in a gated community, with well kept natural gardens, total privacy (you don’t see nor hear anything from other houses) and immerse in the nature. You need a 4x4 car , the road is a bit steep and well maintained , nothing to worry (just drive slow ). You are 20-30 minutes distance from restaurants , attractions and to the famous wale’s tail park. In summary it’s a great place, with an awesome view in first line on top of the ocean making you feel being at your own private VIP balcony.

Hermosa casa con vista impresionante
El servicio por parte de Esteban fue excepcional la casa no puede tener mejor vista llegas y automáticamente te olvidas del mundo impecablemente limpia y muy bien equipada no se necesita nada todo lo tienes ahí , lo único que tiene que mejorar es el servicio de cable e internet sobretodo en esta época de pandemia que se ocupaba para meternos en reuniones y no se pudo por lo demás es el mejor lugar para ir de vacaciones y relajarse

If you are looking for a place to recharge energy, relax and enjoy some amazing views, this is the perfect place for you! The house was very clean, very beautiful and it has everything you need to cook. It has a great pool, good patio furniture and lots of wild animals to see! We saw Toucans, a deer, a peccary and lots of different birds. Esteban was very kind and helpful! We will definitely come back!

Amazing views!
Better than advertised. Ivan and Esteban were incredibly helpful and kind. The views never grow old. Dominical is in a great location to pursue many activities. The bedrooms have strong AC but there is none in the living room/ kitchen. This was not a problem as we were outside most of the time. The need for 4 wheel drive is not an exaggeration. We would love to return and would happily rent the same house again!

Great stay
Easy booking and communicated with Property Manager Ivan throughout process. Met Ivan and rode up to house. Secluded with great views of Pacific coast and Whales Tail. Lots of wildlife to great us each morning and see at sunset. Chapucin monkeys came thru one morning as well. Lots of amenities at house including beach chairs and a cooler for trips. Ivan set up a Jungle ATV tour for us and advised on tours of Manuel Antonio, which we took advantage of. Great time and will return next February. Enjoy staying in Costa Verde Estates. Book a 4x4 for your trip there. Roads have improved 100% since last year but still needed.

A piece of paradise
The property is a perfect getaway for a couple or small family. It is wonderfully stocked with all the items you will need to relax (seating, fans, hammock, shade, etc), enjoy staying in (games, books, DVDs, etc), fun in the sun (grill, lounge chairs, etc) and cooking (pots, pans, glasses, etc). If driving on unpaved, steep vertical ascents and descents make you nervous this is not the place for you. The drive is a bit daunting and you must have a good 4X4 vehicle. Property management was easy to reach. We did have a few blips in power surges, but this may have been related to work being done in the area. Nothing that hindered our time there. It is such a great set up that we barely left our entire time.
